The supervisor-elect said he’s not ready to say what issues he’d like to tackle first in his role on the board overseeing the Ventura County government, noting that he has not started his term.

Huber officially takes the nonpartisan seat at noon Monday, when Foy’s term ends.

Huber was elected in the June primary to represent the 4th District, which encompasses Simi Valley and Moorpark. While considered the favorite, Huber surprised some experts by taking more than half of the vote, avoiding a runoff in the November general election.

He captured 53.5 percent of the vote, running well ahead of Bernardo Perez, who took 29 percent and Andy Waters at 17 percent. Huber said he will keep the same office that Foy did at 980 Enchanted Way in Simi Valley.

He has hired Joel Angeles as chief of staff. Angeles served as an aide to Audra Strickland when she was a Republican state assemblywoman. Two of Foy’s employees — Melody Rafelson and Chelsie Smith — also will be on staff. Huber said he will be hiring a fourth aide but was not ready to disclose the individual’s name.

Under state law, elected officials must take the oath of office before assuming the duties of their positions. Almost every person starting new terms in countywide office or on the Board of Supervisors this month has already taken the oath, but they also are expected to participate in a ceremonial swearing-in at a meeting of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors.

This year, the ceremony is scheduled shortly after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in the supervisors’ hearing room at the Hall of Administration at the County Government Center in Ventura.

Huber was sworn into office in mid-July after he was declared the official winner of the 4th District race, election officials said.

Ventura County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters Mark Lunn said he administered the oath while he was attending a gathering at Huber’s home.

In Lunn’s view, the oath-taking was ceremonial but legally sufficient for Huber to take office. Huber does not have to take another oath before his term begins Monday, Lunn said. Foy remains the 4th District supervisor until that date, even though both men had taken the oath, Lunn said.

Under state law, Huber and other public officers could take their oaths over a six-month period. They had to be sworn in after the primary election was certified in late June and before they assume the duties of the office Jan. 7, county officials said.
